Christmas tradition when i was a kid was fly down the stairs as soon as you woke up and rip open the pressies that santa had left under the tree, then a phone call from ireland on christmas morning from my cousin, play with the games i'd got from santa, then go and get dressed before my sisters and brother arrived, watch the queen (mum always made us watch the queen at 3pm), then fight over where everyone was sitting the only ones who knew where they were sitting was mum & dad everyone else had to fight over sitting on a stool (reaching the table no problem) or sitting on the settee and even then there was arguments on that who was sitting in the middle cos the table leg was in the middle. Then after eating and washing up getting the cards out and playing cards all night until mum had lost all her money and trying to get my brother in laws tin off him!!!

When I was little every time I went the loo I looked behond teh curtain. I'd stopped up late one night and watched a starsky and hutch program where this woman was attacked by a bloke who came from behind the batchroom curtain. It was a totally conditioned response rather than a habit as such. I guess its just like my habit of typing 'the' teh.

Re: traditions and habits
 

Has anybody actually mentioned leaving the carrot/apple for the reindeer, the milk or alcohol and a mince pie for santa? I like doing that, I also write a little letter from santa in the morning for my brother and sister too.
